september 6, 2024 — brainstorming my new novel, reading articles about women's bodily autonomy and hysteria, re-reading the yellow wallpaper, and sipping my hibiscus tea in the calm hours of the day. the weather finally feels like fall.

my tbr for the month and the cutest (also most distracting) study buddy you could ask for

I’m being optimistic with this book stack but I want to read everything this month so fingers crossed I actually read something from it

🎧 Francesca by Hozier

17 march 2023- painstakingly worked on a midterm, sent a bunch of e-mails, listened to hozier, gave up on writing and decided to read instead!

“There's plenty of artists who don't have exhibitions. There's plenty of art that's never seen. And I think I'm intrigued by that. Making work that does not have a destination has it's loneliness and it's sadness about it. Many artists endure that for their entire lives, and it's heroic. The novel that never gets published, should it never have been written? Of course it should be. It's making a fantastic contribution to the culture of the moment because that individual has that huge urge to do that without any other qualifying pressures. Those are my sort of private thoughts that I think there's a lot about the art world and the way we experience art that's fantastic, but I think there's a lot, that's not entirely spoken about or recognized, which is the unseen and the unknown and the creative act as a deeply private experience.”

Today has been my first day of lectures and I'm motivated to finally start to study "right". I get good grades, so I haven't done horrible so far but I want to change the way I study fundamentally. I want to easily feel prepared for every final, every test, every presentation by studying and learning while lectures are still on, not only right before the test/presentation comes up. I want to feel smart and actually remember the things I'm studying instead of cramming the day before a test and forgetting everything right after I sat it.

For now, this is my plan:

Read textbook chapters BEFORE the lectures so it's easier to follow the lecturers.

Revise every lecture for at least 10 minutes, every seminar for at least 20 minutes on the same day.

When you get a task - do it immediately once you get home, no matter the due date. No procrastinating!

Use the 30/10 method - 30 minutes studying, 10 minutes break (either rest, or do something productive like cleaning... Nothing with content that distracts your brain).

Sleep 7h30 or 9h every night

No other social media allowed than tumblr, reddit and youtube (I've already deleted tiktok, instagram and twitter- no short form content!)

So far I think that's it. I'm currently working on a term paper that's due on the 31st of October (I'll have to upload it on the 29th latest though, because I'll be in London from the 31st till the 4th) which is officially my last bit of work I need to do for last semester... And then we can jump right into this fresh one! ... I got some seriously awesome courses this time (like scene writing for theatre, acting practice, German Sign Language...) which I'm sure I will update about loads. See ya!

Reading Japanese classics is so oddly comforting(?) I know it sounds insane as most of them consist of sensitive topics but sometimes some lines are so good, it makes you want to squeeze your own heart until it ruptures, it makes your head spin in circles leaving you numb and unable to think any further while the line that you just read echoes like a haunting whisper in the dark.

book: no longer human by osamu dazai
